over a pulley carried on the projecting end the rolls 2] 31 of the shaft32, which is journaled, as at 33, in one side of one of then rightsfi ofeach of the supporting frames. (Tne of the shafts 26 projects from oneof the supporting frames, as at 34, and carries a drive pulley 35connected by a belt 36 with a prime mover,

not shown.

The rolls 2], 23 are connected together by an endless belt 37. This beltis termed one of the surface finishin r belts. The rolls 22, 24 areconnected toget or by an endless belt 38, and this belt is termed theother of the surface finishing belts. tach of the belts 37, ,38 isconstructed of an inner and outer section 39, 40, respectively, Fig. 3.belts may be constructed of any suitable material, but preferably formedof two sections, with the outer section of a textile fabric, such ascotton or linen cloth, and the inner section of resilient material, bywav of example, rub

bar. The said sections 39 and 40 arosuitably .connected together, andthe section 39 of one belt opposes the section 39 of the other belt,

and between which is carried the paper to be finished. The sections 39operate upon the paper under pressure while the bolts 37, 38 aretraveling, and the exerting of such pressure, in connection with thetextile material of, which the sections 39 are constructed, ives to thepaper a cloth or satin finish. he resilient section of each beltconstitutes a yielding support for 1 he material when the pressure of t10 rolls is had against the belts. The rolls 21, 22 are arranged incloseproximity to each other, :1 nd the some! true of the rolls 23, 24, sothat, when the paper is fed to between the belts 37, 3'81 and passesbetween the presser rolls, the rolls will, what may be termed, bite thepaper. Owing to the employment of the two pairs of rolls, a duplexfinishing operation isgiven tothe pa per. This will be evidcnhns, notonly will 22, owing to their arrangement in close proximity to eachother, exert pres sure upon the belts between which thepnpcr is fed, andthereby cause the imparting of a cloth or satin Iinish to the paper, butsuch action will also be had bydhero'lls .23, 24.

The f eding device l'onthc paper is lfo'rlncd of two pairs of shafts,indicated by the rel'eri Z cnce characters 33, 41,42, 43. and the shafts32, 41 are urrangetl'below the shafts 42, 43, and thc'shul't 41 isarranged above the plane of the shaft 32, and the same is true of theshaft 43 with respect to the shurt 42, The shafts 32, 41, as well as theshults 42, 43, arc connected together by a series of what may be termedribbon bclts 44, 45, the luttcr scricstravclingovcrtlu-shul'ts32,41, undlbc forincrscricstravelingovcrthcshafts-i143, By arranging the slml'ts32, l, 42. 43 in a. manner as slnlcd, the bclls 44, 45 extend at aninclination. and lhc paper is caused to travel upwardly toward the rollll mid bcll Th e.

37 and at an inclination with respect to the roll 22 and belt 38. Theshafts 41, 42, and 48 are journaled in protubcrances 46 extending fr )mthe upri hts 6 of one of the supporting fr mes of eac pair of supportingf rumes, the aid protuberance-s being arranged on each face of theuprights 6.

Thb belts 37, 38 are kept under tension throuc'h the medium of an up )erand a lower stretxjtiier roll 47, 48, the t ormer bearing agai stthe*bclt 37, and the latter bearing against the belt 38. The stretcherroll 47 is journaled in a pair of vertically movable cross bars 49,which are adjustably connected, as at 50., to the uprights 5 of eachpair of supporting frames, and the roll 48 is journa ed in a )air ofvertically adjustable cross bars 51, which are adjustnblrv connected, asat 52, to the lower end of tie uprights 5 of each pair of supportingframes. If either of the belts 37 or 38 should become shrink, it will beevident that, by adjustim either the roll 47 or 4s toward a beltdcpcnthng upon which belt has become slack, the said stretcher roll willcause its respective belt to assume a taut position.

The machine is provided with a pair of at the rear thereof and areunheated bv the reference characters 53, 54. the roll .53 being arrangednear the top of the machine, and the roll 54 near the bottom of themachine. The roll .33 is carried by a shaft 55 which is journalcd in anupright 6 of a supporting frame of each or the supporting frames, and isconnected by a transmission belt 56 to the shaft 42. The roll 54 iscarried by a shult 57, which is journals-d in an uprightti of a sup--porting frame of each of the supporting frames, undgaid shaft 57 isconnected by a transmission belt 58 to the shaft 32.

At the roar ol' the machine a conveying device for the linishcd sheetsis provided, and the said device comists of no upper and a lower pair ofshells, the up )er pnil' being indicn .ed by the rclclcucc c mrnctcrs5!), lit), and the lower pnir being indicated by the rcl'ercncecharacters 6], oz.
